The police are working to break up the street racing event

West Midlands Police took to social media to report how the Road Injury Prevention Team (RHPT) and members of E Unit went to a street racing event in Birmingham on Saturday night.

He said six Section 59 orders were issued, which means driving in a manner that causes/has caused or is likely to cause alarm, annoyance or annoyance to members of the public.

In addition, there were 23 speeding offences, one vehicle impounded for anti-social behavior and several cars noted for number plate offences.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said: “Interceptors from Unit 247 RHPT & E were at the street racing this evening.

“Six Section 59 warnings were issued, multiple number plate offences, 23 speeding offenses and a vehicle impounded for anti-social behaviour.”

The police activity is part of a full and final ban on “street racing”, also known as “car cruising”, in the Black Country, which was set down by the High Court in June.

Prohibits anyone who is a driver, rider or passenger in or on a motor vehicle from participating between the hours of 3pm and 7am in an assembly of two or more persons in the Black Country area where some of those present are engaged in motor racing or motor stunts or other dangerous or obstructive driving.

It also covers organizers and spectators, prohibiting people from promoting, organizing or advertising gatherings or attending a gathering as a spectator with the intention or expectation that some of those present will engage in street racing.

The bylaw covers the entire borough of Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall and has a power of arrest attached to it, giving police the power to arrest anyone who breaches it.

Breaching an injunction is in contempt of court and, if proven, the court has the power to impose a prison sentence, a fine or an order to confiscate a person’s assets.
